Modified cadaver technique to simulate contaminated airway scenarios to train medical providers in suction‐assisted laryngoscopy and airway decontamination – PMC

Simulation training plays a vital role in modern medical education, fostering safe skill development. Task‐trainer manikin and cadaveric airway management training (CAMT) offer realistic airway management practice. Simulation allows learners the … — Read on pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10950015/

Soiled airway tracheal intubation and the effectiveness of decontamination by paramedics (SATIATED): a randomised controlled manikin study – PMC

Vomiting and regurgitation are commonly encountered in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), with a reported incidence of 20–30%. This is of concern since patients who have suffered an OHCA are already in extremis. If standard suctioning techniques … — Read on pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7706770/

Direct- versus video laryngoscopy during suction assisted laryngoscopy and airway decontamination (SALAD): A randomized controlled simulation study – PMC

Pulmonary aspiration during airway management is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. First-pass success during tracheal intubation is a key determinant of patient safety and has been shown to improve with videolaryngoscopy (VL). … — Read on pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13309530/

Effect of SALAD Technique on CPR Quality During Intubation in Contaminated Airways: A Randomized Controlled Manikin Simulation Study – PMC

Background: The management of contaminated airways potentially compromises the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Objectives: This study examined the effect of suction-assisted laryngoscopy airway decontamination (SALAD) compared to … — Read on pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12310310/

Surviving the Nightmare: Massive Bleeding From Large Intraoral Arteriovenous Malformation During Airway Management for Angioembolization Procedure – PMC

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the head and neck present significant challenges due to airway management complexities and hemorrhage risks. This case report describes a 15-year-old female with a congenital facial AVM causing dyspnea and … — Read on pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11681977/

Dr James DuCanto with SALAD

our next patient: 42 year old male; alcoholic liver disease; unwell for several days; lethargic/confused; jaundiced; tense ascitic abdomen. The patient starts to vomit fresh red blood, initially a few cupfuls, then profuse and unrelenting. They’re choking and unable to protect their own airway; sats dip to 88%; RR goes up to 32. Normal suctioningContinue reading “Dr James DuCanto with SALAD”

SALAD recirculation system instructions

This was written in response to a question by a United States Paramedic on how to construct the SALAD recirculation system without utilizing an electric drill pump. I’m sharing it now with the remarkable innovators across the globe who have shared interest in the simulation method in the past.—–Thanks for asking, and thanks for yourContinue reading “SALAD recirculation system instructions”
